Hi,
I installed sarge 2.4.27-1-386 and downloaded 2.6.10. I compiled it for 686 and RAID and installed it.
Whenever I run apt-get (or dselect) under the 2.6.10 kernel, the system crashes and everything dies.
When I reboot to 2.4.27 apt works normal.

Does anybody have a hint? Can I screw up the kernel so that apt crashes the system?

Is it comparable to bug #296274?

No, I think it is a new one

I recompiled the kernel WITHOUT SMP. I had to run dpkg --configure -a

I tried dselect afterwards and it ran fine. I'll test it further this afternoon.

Some strange things:
-The crash only happened using apt. I recompiled the kernel while running the 'faulty' kernel, but it compiled flawless. What could be the relation between apt and the crash. I haven't seen another thing crashing.
- Allthough I only have 1 CPU, under SMP I had 2 CPU's. Maybe it's my lack og knowledge.
--snip dmesg SMP--
Brought up 2 CPUs
CPU0:
domain 0: span 03
groups: 01 02
CPU1:

If I have more data, I'll send it.
Is there something like an endurance test that really tests system stability?
